Juliano Crawford-Vieira's killers sentenced to 12 and 9 months in jail

A pair of teens convicted of killing Juliano Crawford-Vieira in a swarming attack outside a Calgary house party more than two years ago will spend no more than one year behind bars.

One of the young killers got a one-year jail sentence,six months in a group home and a year-long conditional sentence.

The second received a nine-month jail sentence, three months in a group home and a year-long conditional sentence.

The maximum jail sentence for a youth convicted of manslaughter is two years in custody and one year in a group home.

"No sentence that this court gives to TP and JL can come close to giving any equal measure for the loss ofJuliano, a young and vibrant individual," wrote youth court Judge NickD'Souzain his sentencing decision.

The fatal altercation began around midnight on March 8, 2014, in the southwest community ofBraesidewhenthe host of a high school house party asked everyone to leave.

At that point, an argument betweentwo groups of friendsbecameviolent.

Some of the teens in the groups had a history of "bad blood," according to prosecutor Katherine Love, who saidCrawford-Vieira was in noway the aggressor but he became the target.

Last month, in the middle of his second-degree murder trial, TrentHynnepleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter.

Hynneconfessed and bragged about stabbingCrawford-Vieira. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

A fourth person,Roland Smith, was alsocharged with second-degree murder and attempted murder, but the prosecution indicated he will plead guilty to accessory after the fact to murder in March.
